A literature review and analysis of the thermodynamics of sorption. Particular emphasis is placed on swelling pressure, the sorption isotherm, heat of sorption, specific heat of wood, and thermal expansion and contraction. The measurement of sorption isotherms over a wide temperature range, the effect of stress on the sorption isotherm, and thermal shrinkage behavior of moist wood are proposed as significant areas for research.
